A Family Care and Acupuncture Pain Clinic

1000 Folded Cranes Acupuncture and Family Health Clinic provides therapeutic healing and wellness for the entire family. Dr. Fred Ragsdale, DACM, is a primary care physician trained in Western and Complementary medicine. Although most people first visit an acupuncturist for pain therapy, Dr. Ragsdale has over a decade of treating gynecological, pediatric, psycho-emotional, and auto-immune conditions. Common healing techniques include acupuncture, cupping therapy, physical therapy, dry needling (trigger point therapy), cold laser therapy, and other holistic techniques, eastern and Western.

Our clinic is at the nexus of West Hollywood, Miracle Mile, Beverly Grove, and Koreatown and offers a mobile-care program (at home or workplace) for your convenience. As a primary care physician, Dr. Ragsdale orders and analyzes X-rays, MRIs, blood panels, and other diagnostic tools, providing the most effective acupuncture and family medical services in West Hollywood/Miracle Mile. We treat acute and chronic pain for all ages, including children, emphasizing personal well-being and transformation.

By my 4th acupuncture visit, I was more than 50% better. He’s awesome!”

Treating more than symptoms

Combining Chinese and Western medicine provides a unique approach to treatment. A good practitioner will treat the symptom or “branch” while treating the underlying condition or “root.”

Conditions Treated

Services Overview

Dry Needling (Trigger Point Therapy)

Releasing trigger points with dry needling promotes a natural healing response.

As muscle fibers begin to relax, the pain associated with tightness starts to fade. This encourages the release of histamines, relaxes blood vessels, and increases blood flow into the area.

Trigger points are very common. Learn more
